Favors used to prevent the destruction of a character when you DEPART after dying. Destruction of the character in this method is referred to as "Walking the Starry Road" or simply "Walking." As of April 16th, 2009, permanent player character death has been removed from the game, so favors are now used to prevent various other penalties from dying.[1] The concept of "Walking" still exists, it is just no longer available to player characters.
To gain a Favor you must visit one of the various altars around the Realms and perform a task to be granted a Favor Orb bearing the name of one of the Immortals. Once you have obtained an orb, you're told that you must find a suitable sacrifice to fill the orb. All orbs use the same sacrifice: your unabsorbed EXPERIENCE pool.
There are two types of altars that you may receive a Favor orb from: General Altars and Specific Altars.
General Altars
These altars are dedicated to all 13 of the Immortals. There are 3 General Altars in the Realms, Outside The Crossing's West Gate, Out Riverhaven's East Gate and Out Shard's West Gate. To get an orb, you must solve a series of puzzles by either going into a door or an arch. The puzzles through the arch are generally the more difficult of the two. The number of puzzles you must solve is influenced by and increases with the number of Favors you already posses.
Specific Altars
There are a lot of altars strewn about the Realms that are dedicated to specific Immortals and several of them may be used to get an orb from that specific Immortal. Unlike the General Altars, the task to get a favor requires the sacrifice of a physical object; what object is acceptable is dependent on which Immortal that altar is dedicated to. A list of altars can be found here.
To use an aspect specific altar, it usually must first be cleaned. Only Clerics may clean an altar.
Prydaen Favors
Prydaen can now obtain the favor of Eu-Demrris-Tenemlor. Information can be obtained under Prydaen Favors.
